FRESNO, Calif. \u2013\u00a0 Alex Fernandes<\/a> reached base five times, scoring four runs, and adding a home run and double to lead the San Jos\u00e9 State baseball team (17-21, 5-7 MW) in a 10-2 non-conference victory over Fresno State (11-24-1, 1-10-1 MW) Saturday afternoon from Pete Beiden Field at Bob Bennett Stadium in the second game of a two game series.<\/p>\n

The Spartans wasted no time setting the tone. After loading the bases in the top of the first, Rocco Caballero<\/a> came through with a two-run single to give SJSU an early 2\u20130 lead. That cushion held through four innings thanks to starter Jesse Gutierrez<\/a>, who allowed just one hit and held Fresno State off the board in that span.<\/p>\n

San Jos\u00e9 State broke the game open in the fifth. Fernandes ignited the inning with a double, and Jake McCoy<\/a> followed by launching a two-run homer to left, extending the lead to 4\u20130. Fresno State answered with two runs in the bottom half, but that would be as close as the Bulldogs would get.<\/p>\n

A three-run seventh inning, highlighted by RBI hits from McCoy, Rohne Klein<\/a>, and Neil Jansen<\/a>, pushed the lead to 7\u20132. Fernandes added a solo home run in the eighth, and SJSU tacked on two more in the ninth to put the game out of reach.<\/p>\n

On the mound, Gutierrez went four innings, allowing two runs, while Kyler Bacosa<\/a>, Caden Duke<\/a>, Tyler Albanese<\/a>, and EJ McGrew<\/a> combined to shut Fresno State down over the final five frames. Duke (4-0) earned the win in relief as SJSU held the Bulldogs to just six hits and 0-for-6 with runners in scoring position.<\/p>\n
